Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and pancreas are among the most life-threatening, mainly because they are often diagnosed too late. That’s why cancer screening tests are so crucial. They provide an opportunity to catch disease in its earliest, most treatable stage.
At Harmony Digestive and Liver Wellness Centre, patients benefit from modern diagnostic options such as stool DNA tests, faecal immunochemical tests, colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and liver-specific FibroScans. These screenings help specialists detect hidden bleeding, abnormal cells, liver stiffness, or early tumour changes before they become severe.
Screening is especially important if you have high-risk factors like diabetes, heavy alcohol use, fatty liver disease, smoking, or a strong family history of digestive cancers. Symptoms like persistent indigestion, yellowing of the skin, or unexplained abdominal pain should also prompt urgent evaluation.
While cancer cannot always be prevented, simple lifestyle choices—like eating fibre-rich foods, avoiding processed meats, maintaining a healthy weight, and getting vaccinated against hepatitis B—can lower risks significantly.
Regular screenings and preventive care give you the best chance of protecting your gut and liver health. Don’t wait for warning signs.
